Are there really more violent criminals today than there were just 100 years ago? Or is the media just more efficient at reporting it?

I have been going out with a guy for the past two months, who I really really like. One problem is that when I am talking to other people about him, there's a slight delay before I remember his name. I keep thinking of, and suppressing, other names first - the name of male friends, my friend's boyfriend's name, the name of my ex from years ago. I am not in love with anyone else, I am not cheating on him, and I have no problems remembering other people's names.

Any ideas on a) why this is, and b) how I stop it happening?

The only thing I can think of is that I haven't liked anyone else as much as I like him for a very long time, in fact since that ex mentioned above. It'd be awful it I ever did call him the wrong name, especially as both he and the ex both have quite unusual names... help!

i've come to realize that it is human nature to negatively reinforce; u get angry, upset, condescending, lecturing when someone does "wrong"...and when they do "right", it is just assumed they "should" act that way, OR u only praise above average behavior. how do i practice positively reinforcing people around me, daily...i want to be able to positively reinforce my (future) children....

I have a weird fear of heights. Now I don't mind going up in a plane, and I used to live on the 14th floor of a tower block, I have even been, 16000+ up a mountain in a light railway in Colorado, so why is it I find stairs a problem - looking down them I feel dizzy if a long flight of them,, sitting upstairs in stadiums or theatres and riding Dockland Light Railway in London so damn difficult. I told you I had a weird and irrational fear, so how can I get rid of it?

Some people can't help being stupid. Right from infant school you can see which ones the bright kids are and which ones probably won't do very well. Is it ok to be horrible to some one just because they aren't very smart?

Great chess masters can see the outcome of their actions before they move......why is it that people don't see the outcome of a society rampant with homosexual lifestyles?

I am trying to get a general overview of how many sexual active people wish they would have waited longer before "giving it up". I want some concrete #s to share with a youth group. A simple yes or no is good but I REALLY would appriciate knowing why you wished you'd waited. Thanks everyone.

I think I have a problem with concentration during exams . i study very well and Iread the questions very well , but something goes wrong , I read the question and warn my self from falling in a certain mistake but I find myself making that mistake as if I told my seld to do it . This problem happens alot during exams ( times this week only ) . It is not a problem of not knowing the answer it is just that I do something totally different from what the question wants . Just like this !
Do you have any Idea why this happens or how can I work it out?

I believe their eyes become especially expressive, as the rest of their face is covered up.

What if I don't want an 'open' thief doing my taxes....is that being judgemental?

Or just smart?
